The Flow Invader is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist Enemy that spawns near and is summoned by the Stardust Pillar during the Lunar Events. When it spawns, three smaller Flow Invader Minionminions will appear one at a time and begin orbiting it. The Flow Invader utilizes these as attacks, sending them as 1-2 high-speed projectiles towards the player. The orbiting minions will reappear over time.

Notes[]

  • The Flow Invader will launch all of its remaining minions at the player upon death.
  • The Flow Invader's minions use the internal Projectile ID 539.
    • The Flow Invader's minions are also present as an unused NPC, having a graphically identical NPC 408NPC 408.

Tips[]

  • If the Flow Invader is killed shortly after it spawns, fewer minions will be launched at the player.
  • Trying to kill this enemy somewhat on-screen will give a player enough reaction time to dodge the projectiles.

Trivia[]

  • Due to its shape, name, AI, and attack method, it is likely a reference to the arcade game Space Invaders.

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Flow Invader: "A cosmic jellyfish-type creature infused with abundant celestial energies which summons smaller minions to serve as its weaponry."
